More Surveillance Abuse Exposed! Special DEA Unit Is Spying On Americans And Covering It Up

As Americans sort through their feelings regarding the disclosure of the massive collection of metadata by the National Security Administration, we are now learning of what may be a far more insidious violation of our constitutional rights at the hands of a government agency.

English: The seal of the United States Drug Enforcement Administration. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Reuters is reporting that a secret U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration branch has been collecting information from “intelligence intercepts, wiretaps, informants and a massive database of telephone records” and disseminating the data to authorities across the nation to “help them launch criminal investigations of Americans.”

In this case, the Americans who are being subjected to these investigations are suspected drug dealers.

The unit of the DEA that is conducting the surveillance is known as the Special Operations Division (“SOD”) and is made up of a partnership of numerous government agencies including the NSA, CIA, FBI, IRS and the Department of Homeland Security.

While there are suggestions that elements of the program may be legal, there is obvious concern on the part of those running the program—a concern that has not prevented them from going ahead with the collecting and using of covertly gathered data—that the surveillance effort may not be entirely kosher. We know this to be true because, according to documents reviewed by Reuters, DEA agents are specifically instructed never to reveal nor discuss the existence and utilization of SOD provided data and to further “omit the SOD’s involvement from investigative reports, affidavits, discussions with prosecutors and courtroom testimony. Agents are instructed to then use ‘normal investigative techniques to recreate the information provided by SOD.’”

The last line of the directive is particularly disturbing.

By instructing agents to use “normal investigative techniques to recreate the information provided by SOD”, law enforcement is being instructed to flat out lie when disclosing how they came across the tips or other information provided by SOD leading to an arrest. These agents are directed to give substance to the lie by fabricating a false source or method utilized to gain information leading to an arrest.

In law enforcement parlance, it is called “parallel construction.”

Accordingly to a former federal agent, the SOD ‘tip’ system works as follows:

“You’d be told only, ‘Be at a certain truck stop at a certain time and look for a certain vehicle.’ And so we’d alert the state police to find an excuse to stop that vehicle, and then have a drug dog search it.”

When the SOD tip leads to an arrest, the agents then pretend that the drug bust was the surprise result of pulling the vehicle over as a routine traffic stop.

So secretive is the program, SOD requires that agents lie to the judges, prosecuting attorneys and defense attorneys involved in a trial of a defendant busted as a result of SOD surveillance—a complete and clear violation of every American’s right to due process, even when that American is a low-life drug dealer.

Every criminal defendant is entitled to the legitimate data and facts surrounding their arrest so that their counsel can examine the propriety of the arrest and attack procedures that may be improper and illegal under the law in defense of their client. When sensitive, classified data is involved in such a case (data possibly collected in surveillance of a foreign national that reveals incriminating evidence involving an American), it is the prerogative of the judge to decide what should and should not be admitted into evidence.

As for the prosecutors, not everyone is enamored with the idea of such deceit, even if it produces convictions. Reports Reuters:

One current federal prosecutor learned how agents were using SOD tips after a drug agent misled him, the prosecutor told Reuters. In a Florida drug case he was handling, the prosecutor said, a DEA agent told him the investigation of a U.S. citizen began with a tip from an informant. When the prosecutor pressed for more information, he said, a DEA supervisor intervened and revealed that the tip had actually come through the SOD and from an NSA intercept.

“I was pissed,” the prosecutor said. “Lying about where the information came from is a bad start if you’re trying to comply with the law because it can lead to all kinds of problems with discovery and candor to the court.” The prosecutor never filed charges in the case because he lost confidence in the investigation, he said.

Now, before you get carried away with this being some further proof of the Obama Justice Department’s (the DOJ oversees the activities of the DEA) desire to infringe upon the privacy rights of Americans, you should know that the program has been active since 1994. Thus, while one could legitimately criticize the Obama Administration for continuing the program, laying it all at the feet of the current administration would simply be wrong.

The disclosure of the SOD program is upsetting a great many legal and constitutional experts throughout the nation. Speaking to Reuters, Harvard Law Professor, Nancy Gertner—who also spent seventeen years on the bench as a federal judge—said,

“I have never heard of anything like this at all. It is one thing to create special rules for national security. Ordinary crime is entirely different. It sounds like they are phonying up investigations.”

Other constitutional and legal experts point out that the program is more disturbing than the recent NSA disclosures involving the collection of phone metadata as the NSA effort is geared towards catching terrorists while the DEA program is targeting common criminals who, as Americans, are entitled to their constitutional protections no matter what their alleged crimes.

At this point, it seems unrealistic not to presume that other agencies have not joined the party and gone into the business of using unconstitutional surveillance data to make their lives easier when it comes to doing their respective jobs, despite the fact that the United States has always placed constitutional protections above the comfort and success rates of various government agencies when it comes to busting bad guys.

It is now up to us to insure that these critical protections continue to exist.

With this in mind, I’d respectfully offer up a suggestion to President Obama who is finding it near impossible to get much else done as he faces an early lame duck scenario—

Why not become the President who used your second term to clean up surveillance abuses in America and, by so doing, restores the protections of the Constitution to all Americans? There are worse legacies one could accomplish—particularly when considering that President Obama comes to the job having once been a Constitutional law professor.

I’m not suggesting ending legal surveillance programs designed to protect Americans from foreign attacks or doing away with legitimate surveillance efforts that result from the process of obtaining a judicial warrant. I’m simply saying that, even in the case of drug dealers, Americans are entitled to a level of constitutional protection and that ignoring these constitutional rights in the name of getting drug dealers off the street may be gratifying in the short term but fatal to our way of government in the long run.

I can think of no nobler a goal for any president facing the harsh realities of getting things done in their second term.

Little by little, we are turning into East Germany. It is easy to say that this surveillance is only used to catch the bad guys. But it is no different than having the police going from house to house, searching for something illegal. Once the police have this much power, what is to stop them from targeting someone they “think” is commenting a crime, and just planting evidence to prove their theory. Any you are naive if you think it does not already happen.

East Germany never had the level of surveillance and control that we find in modern America. Why hasn’t anyone done anything about criminals in high office? Hint – It could be the most powerful military in the world on their payroll.

I applaud your suggestion that Obama use the remainder of his term to clean up the abuses from the intelligence community, but I have to confront you with the fact that Obama refers to himself AS a constitutional attorney. If he had a moral compass and truly appreciated what he studied he would already be cleaning up this mess.

Yes, end it. No one is arguing that surveillance like this can’t be legal. As long as it’s targeted and approved through the normal search warrant process. But, lying about the evidence trail is completely wrong and should be illegal. I hope nobody thinks this is a team red/team blue issue at this point. The Amash amendment was defeated due to the leadership of both parties. It’s promising that it also received support from both parties, so I’m optimistic this stuff is going to change.

The haystack approach to find the needle is fundamentally a breach of the 4th amendment further aggravated by the disclosure in this article that information, no matter what kind, no matter how “secrete” has a way of flowing like water thru cracks in the dam, flowing to people who use it in illegal ways. Misuse cannot be controlled.

Furthermore, the effort by people like Senator Feinstein and others to lie and obtusely indicates that they knew of its illegality, hence their desire to not only conceal it but lie about it once revealed. This incredible breach of constitutional rights should not just be ended. The perps who created them should be punished.

Oh, hush! Three repeats is enough; especially when your thinking is so poor. If you think the US is worse than N. Korea, then go there for awhile! We’re discussing how to KEEP the U.S. as one of the best nations for freedom, and you think we’re worst than N. Korea. I think you’re loopy.

Well this would conflict with stare decisis in the law and throw thousands of cases into legal jeopardy if not a straight out peremptory plea of autrefois acquit. This is going to turn into a huge legal bonanza! Lawyer up boys the gravy train windfall just came into town. It kind of reminds me of asbestos litigation.

I applaud your comment about Obama doing the noble goal. What a great thing to be noble is. This truly is frightening. It is the first news that I’ve read that worries me that the U. S. is becoming fascist. Wonder if there is a connection with the private prison industry profiting from more arrests.

Un effin believable! We’re turning the US into a “1984″ style Orwellian surveillance state. We need to call a halt to the brutal immoral costly devastating, and completely ineffective, drug war. Ineffective, yes. Failed. Unwinnable. Look at the graph at this link, showing the US has spent $1.5 trillion since Nixon inaugurated the “whatever it takes ($)” “all out war” on drugs in 1971, and despite this massive federal offensive, the addiction in 1971 was ~ 1.3% and it is now the same 1.3%: http://www.theatlanticwire.com/national/2012/10/chart-says-war-drugs-isnt-working/57913/

And immoral, yes. Think about this: In 1991, Robert Moss and his wife had a one-year old and a baby on the way when Moss was convicted of conspiracy to violate marijuana laws. Because of federal sentencing guidelines passed in the mid-80s, Moss was sentenced to more than 20 years in federal prison. Moss returned to his family in Seattle in the Fall of 2011.

What else is immoral? This: In January 2007, a SWAT team in Lima, Ohio, shot and killed Tarika Wilson, a 26-year-old mother, during a drug raid at the home of her boyfriend, Anthony Terry. When the unarmed Wilson was shot, she was kneeling on the ground, complying with police orders. She was holding her 1-year-old son, Sincere, who was also shot, losing his left hand. A subsequent investigation revealed that Officer Joseph Chavalia heard another officer shooting Terry’s two dogs, mistook the noise for hostile gunfire, panicked, and fired blindly into the room where Wilson was kneeling.

And now we have the drug warlords involved in obviously unconstitutional surveillance and hanky panky. This is out of control. Shut it down. And end the idiotic drug war. Ultimately we need to say that, yes, “drugs are bad,” but the cure (police state + $$$) is worse than the disease. And it turns out that the police state and spending a king’s ransom is not even a cure at all. I recommend that you google for videos and reports about the Portugal drug decriminalization, where drug decriminalization actually -reduced- drug addiction. Reduced. Again: reduced! In Portugal at least the drug war there was responsible for an increase in drug addiction! The drug war is irrational and non-sensical. When are the old guard authoritarian types that continue with this monstrously brutal affair going to be stopped?

My story is long, but I will attempt to tell only the most important parts. I was raised in a religious family with both my mother and father in the home. I went thru school as a straight A student. I went to college, a university, and graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Mass Communications; my focus was Journalism. I did my internships and attempted a career. I waited until I was almost 30 years old to have children. When my children were one and two years old, I got laid off, my husband left me for another woman, and I was left to work out the pieces. I have nothing. I love my children and want them to have a beautiful life like I had, and I cannot provide that for them. I have spent the last two years trying to find a job. Corporate America tells me I dont have enough experience, Walmart, CVS, Kroger, Publix…they tell me I’m over qualified. I have raked yards and cleaned houses just to get an extra $20. I have had to scrape up change for diapers and wipes. I, broken-heartedly, have had to return my children’s toys, clothes,and shoes to provide other necessities for them (that they absolutely could not do without). I feel hopeless. I feel helpless. I feel defeated. I never thought I would be here. I never thought I would need help from an Angel on this site to help me care for babies, that I thought, were made out of love. Their father could not possibly care any less. He has missed my children’s birthdays (and lives less than 15 Minutes away), their visits to the ER a couple weeks ago; and when my youngest son had an episode from a heart condition a couple weeks ago, he was no where to be found. He gave me $8 for the children in October and nothing since. I filed for child support in November and they have yet to create a child support order for me and my children because, as they say, “he wont cooperate with the process.” My children’s medical care, my home, my bills, diapers, wipes, food, winter clothing…it’s all in question at this point. Most recently, my car (which has over 250,000 miles on it) died. I’m constantly complimented on how much of a loving, wonderful, attentive mother I am, but I feel a good mommy can care for her kids. I cant, and it breaks my heart. I wait until I read them a story and tuck them in at night to cry. Alone. I dont want them to see my tears. I am ashamed. I dont want them to go without. I would give my life to be able to have them and all their needs completely cared for. Please. PLEASE. I’m begging for help. This is my final hope, and thru prayer, I know that God will use someone on this site to make our lives better. Who would not want a million dollars?! But I am asking for even $1. Every dollar, every CENT counts. I thank you for reading my story, and even if you dont have a donation to give, please…Pray For Us… Donations can be made to us at www.PayPal.com to email address latoniav282@gmail.com

Now ladies and gentlemen moving on… About that DEA SOD operation. The special operations division of the Drug Enforcement Administration has been an ongoing operation for literally decades. Based in Virginia with other assorted alphabet soup agencies at nondescript locations they are merely a clearinghouse for the reams of data and other things that are shall we say diplomatically obtained throughout the airwaves of the world. Since the 1980s we’ve all read the stories about state troopers and other law enforcement entities that have magically come up with large sums of money or large sums of narcotics contraband. Call it what you want but basically parallel investigations, wall off stops, and other assorted techniques have been used literally for decades. It is only now that some of this stuff is coming to the forefront. It should be interesting to see what the criminal defense attorneys do with some of these revelations. Frankly, these things have huge implications in the discovery process which was basically in many cases based on a fraudulent premise presented by the prosecutor/US government/state government. Bottom line is, the exculpatory evidence that may or may not be contained in those data sets which have gone back now for decades and are in use actively today; what is the ramifications for today’s modern drug offender or money launderer that’s caught up in a federal state or local investigation. One more thing… If you really want to see the usage of sensitive compartmented information obtained via clandestine channels at its finest, you should really look at the FBI and their assorted programs. Their data mining and case usage is exponentially higher than DEA’s usage of information will ever be! The shredding of the U.S. Constitution continues in earnest assisted by one of the most corrupt, inept, incompetent, moronic, presidential administrations in modern times!!

There comes a time in our history when we the citizens must demand an end to the internal security system’s view that everyone… everywhere, is the enemy. I have no problem with them doing police work..but to have this disturbing trend of doing whatever they want to under the guise of National Security and never being held accountable for their conduct is simply wrong. We always come together as a nation in times of national trials…we care for our injured and strive to be good citizens…so why this massive program that is treating the citizens of this nation as an enemy to be feared? If this question does not move you to thought…then maybe it is too late to ever return to the “land of the free..and the home of the brave”.

What have we done to this wonderful country. Now you can open the gates to all the people in for drugs. How can you defend the fact that you lied, cheated and did anything you could to stick them in jail so you could get the taxpayer to pump more money into law enforcement. Got my stomach just turns when I think of the sick junk that hasn’t been uncovered yet. Hell man, who can you trust anymore.

I would add the adjective “suspected” to the “drug dealers” since they cannot have not been convicted yet as evidence is still being collected. In that sense, we are all potentially suspected drug dealers.

Lets go even further. Today’s big story: Terror threat closes American embassies. This is a foolish NSA ploy to get positive coverage after Americans discovered how much they are watched by their secret police. The so-called intercepted Al Qaeda messages are phony, phony, phony. Americans who believe the NSA/CIA/Pentagon/etc. warnings are at best naive but probably just stupid. And news agencies like the CNN are complicit by not questioning what has/is really happening.

Yeah…nice conspiracy theory. Problem is that it has already been reported that the information came not from NSA monitoring any American citizens but via picking up an email between the leader of Al Qaeda Central and Al Qaeda in Somalia. So, I’m afraid that little conspiracy has gone out the window.

A phone conversation randomly picked up by NSA overheard one party claiming he was going to board a plane to NYC carrying a bag of dope in his luggage. The information was transmitted to the DEA who searched the luggage and arrested the traveler. The source of the tip was hidden by the DEA because the search was claimed to be accidental. The DEA is supposed to get court permission to use wiretap information and not get it illegally from the NSA.

I agree with Rick on this one. As a conservative I am for smaller government and a balanced budget. When we have $17 trillion in debt, sequestration in place, and threats of government shut down, its critical we compromise and spend wisely. As a conservative I am outraged the GOP would vote for this mess. This does not only make the government larger and more powerful, it is spending we don’t need. A better way to handle this is to allow service providers the ability to store certain meta data and allow authorities to access it only after they obtain a legal warrant. As a conservative and tax payer, I am outraged my tax money goes to the government to spy on me, my family, and my friends. My last thought on the topic is this; trading my freedom and liberty for my national security, this is not a fair trade.

Crime is a covert activity. In order to get away with a crime, the criminal must evade law enforcement. In order to catch a criminal, investigators must also be covert. Why has surveillance all of a sudden become unconstitutional since Edward Snowden stepped on the scene?

Interesting perspective. And do you also agree that it is appropriate to maintain this approach by lying to judges and prosecutors and denying the information to defense lawyers? Because, as you apparently do, I hope you don’t spend much time bellyaching about the importance of adhering to the Constitution (although I’d bet you do) because you’ve just completely tossed out due process. If due process doesn’t exist for those accused of a crime, who do you imagine it was created for?

“I’m not suggesting ending legal surveillance programs designed to protect Americans from foreign attacks or doing away with legitimate surveillance efforts that result from the process of obtaining a judicial warrant. I’m simply saying that, even in the case of drug dealers, Americans are entitled to a level of constitutional protection and that ignoring these constitutional rights in the name of getting drug dealers off the street may be gratifying in the short term but fatal to our way of government in the long run.”

Don’t you think this is a bit of a contradiction? At the end of the day, all these surveillance systems are designed with “your” “security” in mind. It is a gross misinterpretation of priorities. It abuses the good will of the citizens and undermines their freedom and that of the non-nationals. The law foresees the potential of wrong doing to the individuals and that is why they are granted a level of protection. Clearly that should be recognized and upheld for all, including non-nationals. That’s the least one could ask if the law should have any claim to serve justice and not merely be there to protect the already powerful.

These revelations have clouded thousands of drug convictions. Using unconstitutional surveillance in order to work backwards to obtain lawful evidence is considered fruit of the poisonous tree and is enough to overturn a conviction.

My email is wbhdila@yahoo.com I look forward from hearing from you, this is no conspiracy this is as real as it gets, monitoring my computer,phone, and everything I do in my house. They contacted places that I was working at until I either left or lost my job. I would love for some one to hear my story. They even took hair from me when I was in a hospital a ran an illegal hair follicle test which came up negative. They said they were going to send me to Rikers Island. Guess what did not happen. They have violated every right the united states has ever given me. I have made several complaints, nothing gets resolved my rights continue to be violated.

Go here: http://ca.answers.yahoo.com/my-activity and email me. You will need a yahoo email to be able to email me , I think.

But I was victimized for almost 8 to 10 years. With no reason why. They watch you when you shit, they watch you when you shower, they watch you when you have sex. They watch what you type at the same time you type it on your computer screen. They follow you every and Any time you leave your home. They do not care if you know they are following you. It is pretty blatant and disgusting the degree of the violation of privacy and rights that they accomplish.

Keep in mind that Martin Luther King and George Abernathy were criminals. They conspired to overthrow the (segregation) laws of the state of Alabama. They organized and participated in activities resulting in civil unrest (the Montgomery bus boycott). The FBI dogged these guys relentlessly. J. Edgar hated them.

The FBI would have squealed with joy to have the assets the NSA could supply them with today. They would have examined the phone records of these men and harassed and arrested everyone they spoke to. They would have stopped the civil rights movement in its tracks. We might still have “back of the bus.” Our president, having been denied many opportunities because of segregation might well be waiting tables today.

Laws that protect our rights not only protect the accused, they protect the criminals of today who may be the heroes of tomorrow.

We need to bring out the guillotines. The leadership is rotting from the inside out, while our elected officials are stashing away millions in personal payoffs. The middle class is the politician’s toilet and, in their minds, we are very expendable which is why there is no remorse in sending our soldiers to die in wars that are created and funded through the Federal Reserve. It is difficult to get our men in uniform excited about fighting economic wars so, guess what? The Establishment has created a “terrorist construct” for which our well-intentioned soldiers are more willing to die. Unfortunately, all of this, and more, is unfortunately true. The proof is in a brilliantly written tome entitled, The Creature From Jekyll Island. Our leaders have had it pulled from bookstores but it remains for sale on Amazon, at least for now. This, alone, should scare the crap out of you. Our only chance to turn things around is the wholesale slaughter of our politicians.

Hey Rick, I sometimes browse through a site called infowars.com. Its kinda nutty most the time with conspiracies but every once in a while they put out articles that seem legit. Some of the stories do end up coming to light on major media. Check out this article I read about a “Constitution Free Zone” that borders the entire US. Apparently the DHS can do what ever they want in this zone including intercepting phone calls and surveying without any warrant. Check out this article and tell me what you think about this. Conspiracy theory or is it legit?

You cannot have it both ways…. Currently the United States is split after uncovering that our government and other federal agencies are doing “more surveillance” then previously imagined or disclosed. While there are valid reasons, why Americans would like to protect their privacy and their concerns are not at all far fetched, each of us (as individuals) are part of the small picture. The big picture is that the United States and Americans are facing an unprecedented amount of enemies worldwide. Including those who we so graciously give billions of dollars in humanitarian aid, so they can harbor terrorists. As Americans, we want to continue to enjoy the freedom of walking down our streets, sipping coffee at the local cafe and traveling freely within our country. This is all logical, this is America. But what we fail to grasp is that today, all that freedom we currently possess, has a price. The price tag are x-ray machines located in our airports which can see the last meal we ate, the monitoring of the internet, traffic cameras that do more then monitor traffic and yes, even the ability to listen to our phone calls. To some, this may be startling. But what we cannot do is focus this issue solely on the possible abuse, disregarding that as civilians, you and I are not privy to national security matters and therefore have no real sense of the security challenges we may face. Naturally, as Americans we value our constitutional rights. However what is the alternative? Americans who have never been to combat or lived in war stricken areas have no idea just how bad it can get. Would you rather live under the conditions Spain once lived, where every other day “ETA” a known terrorist group, blew up cafe’s killing civilians just to make their point. Perhaps we would prefer living in Ireland when the “Irish Republican Army” demonstrated their religious dislikes by blowing up fellow Irishmen, or just maybe we would like to bring into the homeland, guerrilla warfare like that which once was a part of Guatemala, Nicaragua and Colombia. A life where innocent civilians were snatched, never to be seen again. If your answer is “that could never happen in America”, you are just fooling yourself. Trust me, Spain, Ireland, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Colombia and every other country that suffered the same fate, said exactly the same thing. The only reason it does not happen in America is due to our countries heightened sense of security. Even with this, we have tragedies like the Oklahoma bombing, 9-11 and the Boston Marathon. These horrible events should be a constant reminder of just how vulnerable we are. If that is not enough, we now have our own breed of home-grown child-killers, who endanger the safety of our kids in their own schools. But what guarantee do we have there will be no abuse? There is none. There has never been a government program or social aid program in America where there has not been some reported level of abuse, either by the promoter or the recipient. It is human nature. But those cases represent the minority, not the majority. We need to discard our role as sheep, where our opinions, just mirror those of our politicians. Instead as Americans we need to retain the ability to put the pros and cons on a balance, so that we can arrive at our own informed opinion.- J.C

Jo- you make reasonable points however you are either avoiding or ignoring the distinction between surveillance designed to protect against terrorist attack and surveillance that is aimed at suspected American criminals. You also avoid the effort that is discussed here that involves lying to the courts, the prosecutors and denying defendants their constitutionally guaranteed right to due process. Surveillance for the purpose of national security is certainly important and how far we are, as a country, prepared to go is a discussion that should be ongoing. However, this is miles away from illegal surveillance and perversion of justice in the case of domestic crime. If we are to permit such a perversion of our judicial system, what is the point of guarding against outside threats to our way of life as we will have destroyed our system all on our own.

All your points are well taken. But, we are a democracy; on in which we the people are SUPPOSED to decide how we want to live. So lets have the debate in public: do we want our every move monitored in order to prevent terrorism, and perhaps to enable government sabotage of legitimate protest? Or do we want to keep our old Constitutional freedoms and take the resultant risks that go with it? I’d love to see such a national debate! What I don’t want is for the Federal government to decide in secret what THEY want, and I have no say in it. After the debate, we might find that most people want the secret monitoring. I’d be surprised, but I’ve been surprised before.

Welcome to the game called: How to arrest and incarcerate a disproportionate number of African Americans for possession (of a joint). Gotta keep those private prisons full, while protecting our streets from scary people with darker skin.

For all my Second Amendment friends, how’s it feeling? Hide that gun in the shed, hide that gun under the bed, hide that gun in the attic. If even a single idiot who thinks they are keeping their guns hidden believes the government doesn’t have all the information it needs about their guns, there will be thousands who believe it.

You folks thought it just fine for the government to be spying on the rest of us in the name of national security. What ever is required for national security, the government should be able to do. Your only idiot concern was they didn’t come for your guns. They don’t need to idiots, they have accumulated all the info needed listening in on every conversation you have. I bet they know far more than you think. Knowing all there is to know is far more valuable than having a gun.

I have had the FBI in my life for over a year!!! No lie , They let them selves in my house all the time and continue to leave clues of their presence. I had to fire my maid after they paid her or what ever they did, They had her put a wire on the back of my TV…and also they had her turn my hot water heater to pilot lite which my heater is gas!!! Really bad move by the way. They have paid my neighbor cash to rent a room next store and when I leave they help them selves. I feel they have put my family in jeopardy when they where in my attic they left instillation all over the floor in my closet for my baby to put in her mouth which she did! think God that I’m a good mother and caught it in time. The reason for all of this I still don’t understand but I know It’s the FBI for sure and I thought they could only hold a warrant for 3 months at a time so what ever it is they are spending our hard earned tax paying cash on this and they still have not confronted me so what the HELL! I don’t have $3000.00 Dollars to pay someone to De wire my house and life! so what can I do any thoughts??? Oh by the way I found out it was them when they put their wireless address out there for everyone to see and it said FBI surveillance team ALPHA and the signal was very close and then my phone changed , Meaning the sound became more piercing and my call waiting beep was no longer just a beep and all the drywall around my house on the floor and ect. REALLY PEOPLE!
